Good to know.  I was beginning to worry that my whole crowd had gotten
into some kind of trouble somehow.  Silly, I know, but still...

I did wonder at the time whether that gorgeous weather we had for so
long was maybe a high pressure system or something that had stalled out
over the region and was making it harder for birds to get in here with
no tail wind available.  I know it was unusually still that whole time
where I am.  My place has almost constant strong breeze, often even
quite windy, and just no air was moving at all for more than a week.
